May 17, 200719 yr Reminds me of the old Johnny Chester song. Readymix Revenge. I left each mornin', rise and shine, got into that truck of mine Eacy day I earn my pay by haulin' concrete ready mixed Up and down the roads I drove with half a house in every load Thought my wife just stayed at home alone from dawn till six A cement mixer driver ain't no knight in shinin' armour But I did the best I could just tryin' to keep her satisfied I thought we got along so well, somehow I just couldn't tell I never once suspected her of cheatin' on the side But she did I was drivin' down the main street with my mixer full of concrete She was sittin' right beside him in his Thunderbird, so fine So I turned around and followed them to his house Where they both went in They closed the door behind them but an anger filled my mind I never even said a word, just backed up to that Thunderbird I put the concrete flute about, right in the driver's seat I pulled the chord, out it poured, right up level with the door I filled that car with seven yards of ready mixed concrete A cement mixer driver ain't no knight in shinin' armour But I did the best I could just tryin' to keep her satisfied I thought we got along so well, somehow I just couldn't tell I never once suspected her of cheatin' on the side It happened oh so fast that day, I took my truck and went away Never to return or ever see her face again But I think about them now and then And I wish I could have been there when They found they were the victims of a ready mixed revenge
May 18, 200719 yr That's excellent! Never heard of him or the song. Is it some kind of country song? I hadn't heard the song for thirty years, funny i could remember the lyrics but not the title, took me twenty minutes googling to find it. Johnny Chester is/was a journeyman of the Australian music industry, he mainly worked in Country music but was one of those guys who never quite got there. A couple of top five hits in Oz, very little success overseas. I think the biggest single he had was "She's my kind of Woman" which got some play on the country charts in the US. I saw him put on a semi-impromptu show in an Adelaide shopping mall once to promote an album and he's a gifted entertainer. Been around since 1960 and still going.

Here is his link Johnny Chester I saw him at Tamworth Country Music Festival, personally I dislike both Country and Western but he is talented but never clicked with the US mass market. Not a pretty boy kiwi like Kieth Urban. CB
